Great gorilla and Maasai Mara safaris
We did a gorilla trek in Rwanda and a safari in the Maasai Mara. We enjoyed every part of it. It was all well organized, fun, and memorable. The Mara lodge in Kenya was particularly cool. We particularly enjoyed our safari guide in Kenya, Mustafa Diriye. I could not imagine a better guide. He was nice, fun to be around, knowledgable, considerate, accommodating, and has become a friend. I will recommend a safari to all our friends, and we will highly recommend both Safari Partners and Mustafa.

Great experience even with a low budget
We needed a low budget safari and Roberto worked hard to organize it for us, even with a lot of changes in our program. We spent five great days in our tents, eating excellent meals.

Most Amazing Holiday Of Our Lives!
A day doesn't go by when I don't think about my trip to Africa... Being someone who has travelled the world, I can safely say that after my trip to Africa, I feel content and that no trip will EVER top this one.
My husband and I decided 2 months before our trip to go to Africa. When we started researching, we were overwhelmed by all of the options and tour companies to choose from. I emailed countless places and for the most part, the pricing was relatively similar. What made us choose to go with Safari Infinity was the staff who work there.
From first contact to last, with the million changes I made to the itinerary, Lucia was extremely patient, kind and informative. She gave me options with different price ranges and explained the differences between all the options. She answered all of my questions, replied in a prompt manner to all of my emails and I just cannot say enough good things about her. I felt at ease and comfortable with her and I trusted her. There was a couple places we stayed that didn't have reviews on Trip Advisor yet, which I like to research before booking anything, but her word that they were great places to stay, was good enough for me.
The great service didn't stop there. Being a little nervous about having never been to Africa before, we were immediately greeted by our tour guide, Kelly when we got out of the baggage claim. He had such a friendly, welcoming, comforting smile. He gave us an itinerary and little package of what the plans were for our trip, along with bottled water and chauffered us to our first stop: The House of West Kili for a couple nights. He made sure we were checked in and settled before leaving us for our two nights...
When Kelly returned to pick us up, it was time to start the safari portion of the trip. We were driven to Arush to meet Lucia and her hubby, Simon at a hotel in town. They were warm and friendly and made sure we were good to go. Already so impressed with the personalized service. We really felt special and I knew we were in great hands with Kelly.
Our whole safari was AMAZING! Kelly is a graduate from a safari college, so he was very informative and taught us SO MUCH about all of the animals. He was very patient and let me watch my big cats for as long as I wanted to, with no pressure to keep going. He could spot lions a mile away! We had such a great adventure and we all got along so well. We were very fortunate to see over 100 big cats including a pride of lions hunt, kill and eat a buffalo. We had some adventures as well, got stuck in some mud, had some tse tse flies chasing our truck, saved a turtle who was crossing the highway! At the end of our safari, we met up with Simon and Lucia again, who were excited to hear all about how our safari was. We shared our photos and videos with them and some good bye hugs! Tears were shed when it was all over and Kelly dropped us back off at the airport afterward. I really feel like we left with a friend for life! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND that you request Kelly as your guide when you book with Safari Infinity. Our safari wouldn't have been the same without him. The itinerary that Lucia came up with for us was absolutely perfect and the only thing I would change is adding on one more night at the Ngorongoro Crater. If you are a first timer to Tanzania, this is a great itinerary to go by:
- 2 nights/1 day at The House of West Kili; do the day hike option to get some great views!
- 1 day/night at Tarangire National Park; you will get your fix of elephants here, so you can focus on other animals for the rest of your safari :)
- 2 days/nights in the Central Serengeti area; stay at the Ang'ata Serengeti Camp
- 2 days/night in the Ndutu area; here, you will find the chubbiest lions! You can tell these lions eat well. This is where we saw the lions kill the buffalo!; stay at the Ang'ata Ndutu Camp
- 2 days/nights at the Ngorongoro Crater; Ngorongoro Sopa Lodge is nice but they don't allow the guides to eat with the guests, which I didn't like. This has nothing to do with SAFI though...
- 1 day/night in Stonetown, Zanzibar; We stayed at the Zanzibar Coffee House but there were some nice places on the water that could be good options as well
- 4/5 nights in Nungwi Beach area; the Z-Hotel is perfect!
I promise you that you will not regret your decision to book with Safari Infinity. It was the best decision we made and the perfect start to our month long trip to Africa. I cannot wait to go back! Thank you to Lucia, Simon and Kelly for what truly was the most memorable and unique vacation of our lives.
Review about Kenya by Le Caylar
The safari destinations in Kenya vary greatly. They are sometimes busy, but, if you choose with care, you can usually achieve a great "bush vibe".

Great trip to Uganda
We had a fantastic trip to Uganda with Matoke (Murchison Falls,Queen Elizabeth national park,Kibale forest,...) Our guide Sam did a great job. The lodges were beautifull and our
best experience was to be close to the gorillas ! Thank you Matoke!

Review about Kenya by MeisjeSanne
A country with endless opportunities. Kenya’s rich diversity of wildlife means that no two experiences in the wild are ever the same.
